'New' Hoover Eco-G Range at Argos...

[hi-loswitch98]

You do have to give credit to Vax for doing that & also selling spares for their machines also. Vax have information on the Zoom range for example & they're only sold in Argos (I know Amazon do sell them but they are Expensive) whereas Hoover sell a range such as the Whirlwind but no information is on their website about them.

Hoover do this all the time- its an example of how Hoover Candy don't have a clue of what they are selling. So unlike the global approach of TTI who are much bigger by comparison and own a lot more floorcare brands than Candy.

Finally, Hoover have released their ECO G on their UK website. But only for the bagless Globe based upright and Rush based cylinder vac.

As usual though, their 50% claim on energy saving doesn't quite sit right given the 2000/2300 watts of the Rush and the standard 1100/1200/1300 watts of the standard Globe.

Their £329 (yes really) Hoover Eco G upright (Globe model GLE900) has 900 watts.
Their £119 Hoover Eco-G Express cylinder has 1100 watts.

The TeliosPlus based cylinder vac however has yet to be listed.

The Hoover Eco-G / Globe Upright Copy is interesting...

Hoover say that it is 900w but you can buy a Regular Globe Upright (Model GL1108) which is also 900w & has the same AW. But it is only £124.99 at Argos on a 'Better Than Half Price' deal.

Yet the GL 1106 model is on sale at Robert Dyas for £129-99

Just had a reply from Hoover UK over Facebook, the Noise Level for the Eco-G Integrated Bagged Cylinder (Telios Plus) is 77 decibels making it as noisy as the regular 2200w version on sale for £50 cheaper. I find that misleading considering Hoover say that the Eco-G has quiet technology.

At the weekend I used a Hoover Sensory 2000 watt bagged cylinder vac. I was very surprised at how quiet it was, even at full power and not a patch on the old TS2065 model I had in 2011.

The red TS2353 has plenty of suction and the air out the back of the grid doesn't go in my face. It was rated at 78dbl! It is a pity that the Sensory's main tools consist of that cheap slider crevice-out-of-a-cup and brush combo tool and it doesn't exactly inspire confidence when clipped to the underside of the handle.

I was however very surprised on how easy the Sensory was to use - it has a longish hose, easy tubes and all the while didn't make much of a racket. The model they copied was Bosch with their BSGL3 series where the lid opens from the rear.
